Gllanz Harm In our memory lane of the future, When we sit recollecting the past, We'll return to the days spent at Draper, To the time that's now passing so fast. We'll remember, and smile to remember, How we thought that our lessons were badg For our passage through life will have shown That they're nothing to struggles we've had. And no doubt it will give us great pleasure To recall our old friends once again: But how strange it will seem to compare them To the adults we'll know then as them. In the future when older and wiser 4 A desire we will all perhaps feel Is the wish that we all could grow younger And return to the days now so real. So let's live our young lives to perfection, Then we'll never have cause for regret. And whatever position we rise to, We'll remember old Draper High yet. Uhr Brapzrizm US NORMAN GUNDERSON. 23

Uhr Brnpzrian Ullman Ellliaturg In 1929 we entered as Freshmen. The members of our class were suc- cessfully salted by the Juniors, but enough survived to organize our Fresh- men class with Leo Oliver as president. Our class spirit was practically dead the first year. The next year we came back bubbling over with class spirit and bear- ing the proud name of Sophomores. We kept our president who proved very efficient. A very successful Tea Dance was held in honor of St. Patrick. Cafeterias and fudge sales now and then greatly enlarged our treasury. The Junior year began with the election of officers. Veronica Bonk was elected president, James Murphy, vice-president, and Harold Ferguson, secretary. Although this was a rather uneventful year, we must not for- get our class rings. In 1932, we came back as Seniors. Steward Tosh was elected president, Lloyd Owen, vice-president, and Roberta Kelly, secretary. Our first activity as Seniors was a Hallowe'en Dance which proved very profitable. In Decem- ber the class sold Christmas Cards, a novelty that greatly replenished our treasury. Our class play, Beads on a String was presented December 8th and 9th. The Valentine Dance and the 4 I-Act plays also provided en- joyment. The Draperian Board was elected with Norman Gunderson as Editor-in-chief. We are now looking forward to a Senior Ball, but the most important things are our diplomas and graduation. ALETHA CROMIE, Historian. 22
